Blas Polidori's Song..
*I like this version better than the original, plz don't fight me*
"What will become of my dear friend?
Where will their actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd,
In their enthusiastic cloud,
Try as I may, it doesn't last,
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become..
For I am not the one.."
HELP

I love the Animaniacs. They're just silly goofy lil guys. They're borderline eldritch horrors. No one knows what exactly they are. They can tear you apart emotionally, physically, and mentally while singing the catchiest song you've ever heard. They are protective of each other but would push their siblings off of a bridge without hesitation. There is no fourth wall. Dot is the ultimate icon and we do not deserve the queen she is. Yakko is technically the most responsible but also most ruthless. Wakko is sweetest most innocent disgusting boi. They are either here to help us learn an important lesson or drop an anvil on our heads for the fun of it. Reality bends before them. Just... the Animaniacs, man.
Just yapped to my mom for an hour or so about The Who knowing damn well she dgaf💅
me: knock knock! person: who’s there? me: the. person: the who? me: The Who are an English rock band that formed in 1964. Their classic line-up consisted of lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townshend, bassist John Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon. They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century, selling over 100 million records worldwide and holding a reputation for their live shows and studio work.
The Who developed from an earlier group, the Detours, and established themselves as part of the pop art and mod movements, featuring auto-destructive art by destroying guitars and drums on stage. Their first single as the Who, “I Can’t Explain”, reached the UK top ten, followed by a string of singles including “My Generation”, “Substitute” and “Happy Jack”. In 1967, they performed at the Monterey Pop Festival and released the US top ten single “I Can See for Miles”, while touring extensively. The group’s fourth album, 1969’s rock opera Tommy, included the single “Pinball Wizard” and was a critical and commercial success. Live appearances at Woodstock and the Isle of Wight Festival, along with the live album Live at Leeds, cemented their reputation as a respected rock act. With their success came increased pressure on lead songwriter and visionary Townshend, and the follow-up to Tommy, Lifehouse, was abandoned. Songs from the project made up 1971’s Who’s Next, which included the hit “Won’t Get Fooled Again”. The group released the album Quadrophenia in 1973 as a celebration of their mod roots, and oversaw the film adaptation of Tommy in 1975. They continued to tour to large audiences before semi-retiring from live performances at the end of 1976. The release of Who Are You in 1978 was overshadowed by the death of Moon shortly after.
Kenney Jones replaced Moon and the group resumed activity, releasing a film adaptation of Quadrophenia and the retrospective documentary The Kids Are Alright. After Townshend became weary of touring, the group split in 1982. The Who occasionally re-formed for live appearances such as Live Aid in 1985, a 25th anniversary tour in 1989 and a tour of Quadrophenia in 1996. They resumed regular touring in 1999, with drummer Zak Starkey. After Entwistle’s death in 2002, plans for a new album were delayed. Townshend and Daltrey continued as the Who, releasing Endless Wire in 2006, and continued to play live regularly.
The Who’s major contributions to rock music include the development of the Marshall stack, large PA systems, use of the synthesizer, Entwistle and Moon’s lead playing styles, Townshend’s feedback and power chord guitar technique, and the development of the rock opera. They are cited as an influence by hard rock, punk rock and mod bands, and their songs still receive regular exposure.
Wish I was able to see it in theaters :(
I wish I could relive seeing Nosferatu (2024) in theatres for the first time again. I don't think I blinked for the entire three hour runtime.
Is there literally anyone else out there's who's into the story of Flight 571, the "Miracle in the Andes"? My irl friends are getting tired of hearing about it, but I need to yell about the Society of the Snow trailer!
